Thank you for all the information. Your work it beautiful! !

Great colors and love the idea of coasters to use up left over paints! Thanks for the video Christina.

Love it!!

Fantastic presentation and very knowledgeable. Thanks.

Very pretty!!

I love all your tutorials.

The coasters turned out so beautiful xo

I love these! It is still amazing to me how you never get the same results even using the same colors, layering the same, etc. 😄

Very pretty!

Very nice tutorial for these coasters.

Very pretty coasters! I really wish I could watch your live show (when it is LIVE, lol) I absolutely love working on the tiles :-)

I feel you on keeping coasters around long enough to sell elsewhere. I've been trying to build an inventory up for a show coming up. Lol. those are going to be amazing resined great video :)

I think I will put painters tape around the base of the blow torch,pretty.

so pretty, love the colors,

I love those little cells that formed. Do you think it will work also if I use coasters made from wood. I have a round wood coasters but I have not pour it yet.

Can you use the countertop resin inside? That is the main reason I love ❤️Art Resin I can use it inside, it doesn’t smell so awful, no toxins!

@ChristinaWelch

you can and no odor. It is thicker than Art Resin, but it cures quicker. I have used both and I love the Stone Coat much better. You can use it on tiles because it's heat resistant to 475. Nothing will stick after it's 30 day cure.

So beautiful, what is that gun thing your using on coaster, where did you buy it from. What kind of paints are you using? Love the video

I did some pour painting tiles and now I’m ready to resin. I have a couple of questions. 1). Do I first wash tile to get rid of silicone? 2). Do I need to put a coat of varnish to give a bit of “tooth?” 3) Is one coat of resin enough? Finally I compared the price of 3 different resins (Marine Pro, Art Resin, and Stone Coat)..and STONE COAT has the best price. I ordered just 32 oz this time but next order I will order the larger one; using your site. Thank you. Monte

Monte, I set mine on a tray and cover with baby powder to absorb the silicone for a couple days. I then wipe them off and wipe with a damp towel. I do a quick wipe with alcohol and let set a day before I resin. I do 2 coats of resin because most times your edges will look like they need another coat. I sand it between coats and wipe again with alcohol before putting the second coat on. Stonecoat is the best resin I have used thus far.

I’m new to painting but I’m hooked. Love your videos! I have an issue with paint lifting when I clean my tiles. I’ve tried several different methods. If I use powder it doesn’t lift while cleaning but does when I resin. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I use resin because of the option for hot beverages. Most of the varnish and sealers out there don't work. If it's just an art piece, it's fine, but you can't beat a countertop epoxy for heat resistance

Hi Christina, I just finished pouring 55 coasters for Christmas presents for my daughter's employees. I'm not experienced with using resin (just bought the Stone Coat resin) having used it just a couple of times. Any major tips on a successful application? Also, I'll be visiting your FB page as you suggested. Thanks!!

@ChristinaWelch

5 жыл бұрын

just do small batches, like 1 cup at a time so it doesn't heat up while it's sitting. Also, if you used silicone make sure you get it off before resin. Wear gloves so you're not putting any oil back on the tiles. If they have spots that doesn't cover, you'll need another coat. Clean, lightly sand and recoat. Tiles are tricky when you use silicone
